About Blankenberge

The large pier provides stable sandbanks and cuts the howling onshores leaving some decent rights on the east side. Strong rips are common and paddling very close to the pilings or jumping off the end are only for the brave. There is a rare right up at the Zeebrugge harbour wall and some busy peaks down at Blankenberge-Oosterstaketsel.

Belgians most consistent spot attracts a crowd and there’s a surfclub under the pier for rentals and lessons.
